Dear Editor:
Rather than a "centrist" (all references are to 8/16/06 ID), Ruben Navarrette is another of many examples of Hispanics who even after generations, maintain their allegiance to their ethnicity, rather than the US, as his articles are consistently
pro-immigration and anti-enforcement, providing more evidence for the restricted entry position. The Marc Cooper article seems scripted by the business agenda and other special interests, promoting S. 2611 and bad-mouthing restrictionists.
"Name Withheld"'s letter should try reading the lines in my letter, not "between" them. But I suppose it is difficult for a pro-immigration enthusiast to understand a pro-American one and the fact that we need HB 4437
enforcement and restricted entry at this point in our nations history.
I agree with Mr. Algase's letter's points about the many shortcomings of the present
administration including the failure to secure our borders. But, the
other problems do not preclude the fact that excessive entry tops the
list, contributing heavily to the others. Half of those busted in
yesterday's nationwide drug operation were illegal Mexicans, not
"busboys and farmworkers", nor was this threat or thousands of others
similar, "imaginary" as Mr. Algase's letter has tried to convince us.
Congressman Steve King has informed us that, "Illegal aliens cause the
death of 25 American citizens every day ...13 by drunken driving and 12
by stabbings or gun fire." That adds up to over 9,000 deaths annually
caused primarily by illegal Mexicans residing in America.

Dear Editor:
I enjoyed re-reading Marc Cooper's article, "Deport Congress," (08/15/06 ID Article). The first time I read it was when it was published in the L.A. Weekly on April 5, 2006. The second time I read it was when I linked to the original L.A. Weekly on Bender's Immigration Bulletin Daily Edition, shortly thereafter. The piece is still timely, but many readers want to know when, and where, a piece first appeared.

Dear Editor:
President Bush is trying his best for implementing the guest workers program for illegal immigrants who are in USA for more than five years. Will the senate and the house would approve and send it to the president for his signature to become law?
